PlotEdit

Bev is suspicious of Lucy's motives as she arrives at the Rovers to ask Shelley to join her for a drink. After Nick's angry assertions that Todd is gay, Sarah asks for time alone with Todd for his version of events. A confused Todd questions his sexuality as he tells Sarah that although he loves her, kissing Nick felt right at the time. Nick asks Ashley if he ever gave him the impression that he was gay. Karen orders Steve to stand up to Dev over his plans for the cab firm, so Steve gives Les his job back to show Dev who's boss. Sarah is devastated at what she sees as Todd's betrayal of their relationship. Angela is furious with Tommy for allowing Craig to move into Katy's room - she accuses him of trying to erase Katy from their lives. Ashley and Claire share a bowl of popcorn and watch a video together. Lucy and Shelley bond as Lucy explains that she and Shelley are sharing the same emotions. Todd pleads with Sarah not to leave him. He's unsure of his feelings but he knows he loves her. She doubts his word and leaves the Street with Bethany.
